“The recent revival of interest in the life and work of John Owen allows us to see how the greatest theologian in seventeenth-century England speaks to concerns from across the history of the church. Written by two premier Owen scholars, this book offers a first-class account of Owen’s place within—and his contribution to—the Christian tradition.”
Crawford Gribben, Professor of Early Modern British History, Queen’s University Belfast      

“What a rich and generative book this is! In dialogue with a splendid array of conversation partners, this highly accessible volume offers a wonderful ‘way in’ to the breadth of John Owen’s theology for those who are not yet familiar with him, as well as fruitful insights for those already acquainted with his work. Throughout the volume, Kapic and Kieser engage with the best of recent scholarship and model how to go about theological retrieval in a way that offers a constructive theology for the church and leads us to doxology.”
Suzanne McDonald, Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology, Western Theological Seminary

“Even John Owen’s warmest admirers will admit that reading him can be hard work. It’s also hard work to paraphrase his peculiar Puritan pronouncements well enough to draw him into discussions with both ancient and modern theologians. Kapic and Kieser have done the hard work here. Their writing is vivid, their footnotes point to all the right sources, and their love of theology is contagiously motivating. Owen Among the Theologians will be especially helpful for those who may have dipped into Owen’s work but have still wondered what all the high praise is about.”
Fred Sanders, Professor of Theology, Torrey Honors College, Biola University

“Serving as an introduction both to key doctrinal loci and to John Owen as a theologian, Kapic and Kieser’s work is a profound meditation on theological reasoning. Through each topic, readers see clearly why Owen is recognized as one of the most important Reformed theologians in the Protestant tradition. Learn alongside Owen with two of the most significant Owen scholars working today.”
Kyle Strobel, Director of the Institute for Spiritual Formation, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University

“In this creative and insightful book, Kelly Kapic and Ty Kieser bring the oft-overlooked Reformed theologian John Owen into conversation with a wide range of theologians from across the tradition. In doing so, they not only shed light on Owen’s work but also offer fresh perspectives on conversations of perennial interest. I learned from reading this book, and I shall return to it."
Thomas H. McCall, Timothy C. and Julie M. Tennent Professor of Theology, Asbury Theological Seminary

“​​Too often John Owen is considered a ‘niche’ theologian—an old Puritan whom a few specialists ought to study but who really isn’t interesting for the rest of us. This wonderful book destroys such assumptions. As the authors place Owen in dialogue with figures across the theological centuries, we discover the rich relevance of Owen’s thought for all Christians.”
Matthew Levering, James N. Jr. and Mary D. Perry Chair of Theology, University of Saint Mary of the Lake, Mundelein Seminary

“Kapic and Kieser are like chefs who have prepared a tasting menu, pairing dishes with wine, which are even better when matched and taken together. Certain doctrinal loci of John Owen are paired with a number of authors as obvious as the ABC’s of theology (Aquinas, Barth, Calvin), as well as rather pleasantly unexpected and mellifluous pairings as Macrina and Lemuel Haynes. Here is a beautifully written and theologically reflective account of why and how Owen has a place among the theologians worth engaging to consider human flourishing within the context of the love and glory of the triune God. Come join the feast!”
Paul C. H. Lim, Professor of Humanities, Hamilton School for Classical and Civic Education, University of Florida

“Kapic and Kieser are intent on helping readers understand John Owen himself, but they have also assembled a fascinating list of ancient and modern theologians they bring Owen into dialogue with. This towering figure of English Reformed theology known for his dense writing style is shown to be an important voice speaking on subjects that still matter for contemporary theology and the Christian life. And the range of topics on which Owen interacts with others—the Trinity, sin, justification, the ascension and priesthood of Christ, and many more—make the volume of interest to a broad readership.”
Steven J. Duby, Professor of Theology, Phoenix Seminary

“Having taken a long medieval hiatus from being immersed in John Owen, I have come to appreciate his genius even more. Owen often knew how to mediate the best Christian ideas to his readers while (mostly) hiding his learning in the process. The more familiar readers are with early church and medieval theology, the more they will read Owen with new eyes. Conversely, because Owen carried forward discussions from earlier Christian theology, he remains a worthwhile conversation partner today. This wonderful volume makes room at the table for historians, theologians, and interested laypeople, promoting discussions of Owen’s ideas from many fruitful angles. By bringing Owen into contact with those coming before and after him, Kapic and Kieser bring him into contact with us, that we might learn to pursue theology as doxology. Owen was one of the best ‘retrieval’ theologians in his day, and his ideas are well worth retrieving in ours. This creative mixture of historical and systematic theology shows us a flourishing path toward interpreting, evaluating, and constructing theology in conversation with John Owen.”
Ryan M. McGraw, Morton H. Smith Professor of Systematic Theology, Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary

“Why do theologians today keep returning to John Owen? Owen’s theology has proved so fruitful because when it is summoned into the halls of the Great Tradition a spellbinding soiree begins. Unfortunately, only a few have brought Owen into conversation with the church catholic, that is, the church universal. The task is intimidating to say the least. Yet Kelly Kapic and Ty Kieser have just the acumen and courage required. By the end of this tour, one thing is clear: There is an enduring catholicity to a Protestant Scholastic like Owen, and if taken seriously, it might just rub off on us, the fortunate few. We need more conversations across the Great Tradition like this one precisely because these are the conversations we will have in heaven, where we will meet the democracy of the dead face-to-face.”
